Small scene + fast pace, gorgeous acting blooms

There are indeed bugs in the film. For example, when the laser appears on the male protagonist's chest, he can try to use the phone and the sniper's blind spot on the back to do some implied things.

Others, such as ballistic testing and gunpowder smoke reaction, are all things that will come later. Except for bluffing and piercing others on the phone, they are useless. This can be regarded as a sniper deliberately fooling the male protagonist.

And because the three views of the sniper himself are not correct, it is incorrect to criticize the three views of this movie, because he is only a "criminal" character in the movie.
(The one that can be contrasted here is Charlotte in "Charlotte Trouble". The male protagonist's three views are not right and encouraging the behavior of these three views is really what the movie deserves to be criticized.)

However, even if there is BUG, the scene, rhythm and the male lead's acting skills (plus a criminal's voice) are enough for me to give it a five-point non-negotiation.

It is very difficult to make a person change, so popular online novels basically do not have the mental growth of the protagonist.
Yet the film does just that in 90 minutes, allowing a man with a mouth full of trains to expose his incompetence, cowardice and fear to the world.
What's even more amazing is that the process is very natural. From being suppressed to resistance to frankness and finally to the bravery of breaking the pot.
Investigating its details, you can simply take it out and study it carefully.

Rhythm, development. These two parts are the two biggest problems exposed by domestic films in recent years, and they are also the parts that screenwriters need to focus on improving. Studying this film will undoubtedly benefit some people a lot.

    What a savvy crime! The plot is tense and heart-wrenching, as if you can't feel the passing of time. With the superb call skills, it is so refreshing to see the ugly faces of those who live in despicable lives. When they finally collapsed, they felt the shock in their hearts. It was so refreshing! Colin interprets the character's heart vividly, reflecting his solid acting skills. There are also screenwriters and original authors who have to admire their grasp of all the details.

    The single-scene movie reflects the depth of the psychological space from the narrow physical space. The drama is full of tension. It wins with novel ideas and tense rhythms to make up for logical defects. Colin Farrell performed very well. It is said that after filming a public confession scene, the onlookers clapped their hands and applauded. Sutherland's contra-angle created by sound alone is extremely deterrent
